13. INSTALL POSITION POLES, WRIST ASSEMBLIES, & LEVEL:
Locate the bag labeled MISC.PARTS; remove the 2-Positon Poles, 2-Wrist Assemblies, and the Level.
Slide each of the items into the bottom channel of the Valance
tube in the following order:
1. Slide the Level in and position just to one side of the joint
in the VALANCE TUBE; tighten the Phillips head screw
to secure in place.
2. On one end of the VALANCE TUBE first slide in a
POSITION POLE, followed by a WRIST ASSEMBLY.
3. From the opposite end of the VALANCE TUBE first slide
in a POSITION POLE, followed by a WRIST ASSEMBLY.
There is a POSITION Pole for each side of the awning which is
intended to keep the awning from being retracted too far which
could damage the product. Each POSITION POLE should be
positioned approximately 12in (305mm) from the centre joint.
The WRIST ASSEMBLIES, will each be positioned approximately
7.50in (190mm) from each end of the VALANCE TUBE. This
position may require minute re-positioning after the Awning is fully
assembled, and is addressed in the ADJUSTMENT & FINE TUNING
OF THE AWNING later in this guide.
With the LEFT and RIGHT Side Wrist Assemblies now positioned,
tighten the Philips screws on the bottom of each Wrist Assembly to
secure it in place.
14. INSTALL EXTENSION ARMS:
Locate the box that is labeled LEFT and RIGHT Extension Arms.
Carefully open the box and find the LEFT and the RIGHT
Extension Arm. Each arm is Labeled LEFT and RIGHT, and
each or them indicates TOP, meaning that top should face
upwards when installing the part.
Remove the EXTENSION ARM Pivot Bolt on the LEFT
BRACKET ASSEMBLY. Insert the large end of the LEFT
Extension Arm ensuring that the side labeled TOP is facing
upwards. Fit the RIGHT EXTENSION ARM in the open bracket
and align the holes. You may require a mallet to get the
Extension Arm in to the bracket, insert the Pivot bolt from the top
and hold the cap nut at the bottom of the bracket. This joint has
a very tight fit, as such you will need to use a 10mm Allen Key a
screw the bolt into the Hex nut, once the bolt catches the threads
it will tighten well. This bolt needs to be very tight but not so tight
that it can not swing. Repeat this step on the RIGHT BRACKET ASSEMBLY and install the RIGHT EXTENSION
ARM.
15. ATTACH THE VALANCE TUBE TO THE EXTENSION ARMS:
Remove the Nylon Hex Nut From the two WRIST ASSEMBLIES already installed in the VALANCE TUBE, and drop
the Wrist Pin bolt down through the open ends on each of the Extension Arms. Use an 18mm Socket / Wrench or
adjustable wrench to tighten the Nylon Hex Nuts back on to the Wrist Pin Bolts. Tight snug and then loosen a quarter
turn, to allow for unrestricted movement.
16. TIGHTEN THE FABRIC:
WARNING:
DO NOT CUT THE PLASTIC ZIP TIES ON THE AWNING EXTENSION ARMS UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO
DO SO IN THIS GUIDE. THE FOLDING ARMS ARE UNDER SPRING TENSION AND SHOULD NOT BE
CUT UNTIL THE AWNING IS FULLY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ON THE WALL.
